NASA said it would land Insight around 3PM EST, well it landed at 2:54 after 6 months and 300 million miles.
Not bad timing. So I guess they still use what Einstein wrote in 1915. mike ![[Image: 1_11_11_13_11_50_27.png]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=www.7173mustangs.com%2Fgallery%2F1_11_11_13_11_50_27.png)

Einstein knew his stuff...

So does that mean George Pence is the Einstein of the 351 Cleveland?

That’s some impressive timing. My wife is usually impressed if I can estimate what time I will be home from work within 30 min.

Mine is issuing me progressive fines if i am over 30 mins late. +10EUR every time, so you are a lucky man. P.S. I am on 110 EUR for next time  stimulates my estimation accuracy.Guys from NASA might have something similar.

There is a good book written by Charles Proteus Steinmetz called Four Lectures on Relativity and Space. Don't know if it is available on Kindle. mike
It, and some of his lectures, are available on Project Gutenberg (free)

He gave a lecture (4) late 1922 early 1923 to groups of engineers. They were "mathematicians" but not at the level of Einstein. So Charles attempted to explain all this. mike

I've looked through the text of the 4 lectures. You would have to be a practicing mathematician or physicist to get a lot out of them. It's been many years since I performed actual calculus calculations on real world problems (not classroom).
Einstein's book is a lot easier to get through. Some of it even sinks in, which is kind of scary

Einstein nailed it once again back in 1915.
